MY HOE AND PRAYER FOR THE PACKERS FIRST ROUND PICK IN THE NEXT DRAFT

[texaspackerbacker]

Shit! I screwed up the title. Moderator, please give me a P hahahaha.

I want to get this posted BEFORE tomorrow's Wisconsin game because I want it regardless of how that game goes down. Never mind the fact that we have Lacy and he's exceptional. Never mind the fact that Starks is a fairly decent change of pace RB. Never mind the fact that Harris might be a better change of pace RB than Starks.

I WANT MELVIN GORDON TAKEN BY THE PACKERS!

Never mind that we need a good ILB - the second round will work for that. Never mind that it wouldn't be a bad idea to copy what the Cowboys have done with first round picks in their O Line - our luck/skill/whatever will first round O Lineman hasn't been so hot (Ted just ain't Jerry hahahahaha).

Maybe Gordon will be gone by the time the Packers pick - I've heard it said he could go as high as #1 or 2, but the way it has been with RBs, I'd say it's 60/40 he's still there for us - just as Lacy was there in the second round. IMO, Gordon is a once in a generation player whose ability will translate to the NFL. I've been around since Jim Brown, and I haven't seen anybody other than Brown and maybe O.J. who was better - not even Sayers or Sanders, certainly not Emmet Smith or Payton.

Just imagine Gordon's breakaway ability and Rodgers' passing, and salivate about it. 60% of the plays Gordon on the field, and 40% Lacy.

Have you seen the Australian TV show "Rake" with Richard Roxburgh on Netflix??

It is awesome, lol...

There is an America version with Greg Kinnear, but it got bad reviews and was cancelled... the original Aussie show is great though - one of my favorite shows

[mraynrand]

seriously though, Packers won't get a sniff at Gordon, but I'd take 'em if they did.

WOW !

You love this guy.

[Joemailman]

Gordon could be there. Hard to say. CBSSports has 2 mock drafts. One has Gordon going #14, the other at #29. Packers will be picking between 25-32. Why would you use a #1 pick on Gordon and reduce Lacy's carries? I can't see TT doing it.

Gordon may be a step above the other Badger RB's that have failed in the NFL, but he's not Walter Payton. I'd pass.

[hoosier]

Lacy is a great fit with this offense: he can block, catch and break tackles, and what he brings is enough to get most defenses out of the 2-deep shell. I am not sure that having Gordon on the field would make the Packer offense all that much more difficult to defend, and if he is only going to be on the field for 20-30 plays then I'm not sure that is worth a D1. They have real needs at inside linebacker, defensive line, tackle and TE. And possibly CB and WR depending on what happens with their FAs-to-be. If there is first round talent at one of those positions, take it.

That's where I'm at, too. They have Lacy, what would they do with Gordon? It would be a big waste. Starks (85) and Lacy (246) had 331 carries combined. Does it make sense to have Lacy and Gordon, and give each only 10 carries a game? How effective would either be if used that way?

This is why Tex should stick to being a ladies man and leave the football to non-ladies men like Ted Thompson.

Just questions, so don't get your panties in a wad...

How much of Gordon's success is due to the Wisconsin OL? Apparently, two starting OLinemen sat out the Ohio State game and Gordon was held below 100 yds.

If Gordon wasn't available at our draft spot, but Gurley was, would you draft Todd Gurley with your first draft pick? Same size players and arguably Gurley is just as good.

Ohio State sold out to stop the run, double A gap blitzes on any running down. Gordon was the only option on offense the Buckeyes were concerned with. That's not to say his OL wasn't a difference, but RBs can be stopped, even if they are other worldly talented.

Sorry, this is a terrible video - but Barry Sanders was held to -1 yards. It can be done.

No problem with the title - it's too late now anyway; My hot young wife already saw it, and she elder-abused me hahahaha.

No, Maxi, I wouldn't take Gurley in the first round or any other RB in any high round. Gordon is exceptional. As I said previously, I really don't think the Badger O Line made Gordon what he was. A lot of his runs were without exceptional blocking/with broken tackles/with unscripted cutbacks, etc.

As for Gordon compared to Lacy, I see Gordon breaking most of the same tackles Lacy broke, and I see Gordon going for TDs on most of the runs where Lacy broke into the second level and chugged about 20 or so yards before getting dragged down.

I posted this NOW - before the playoffs because I think Gordon is gonna absolutely tear up God damned Auburn, and I wanted to get ahead of the curve - touting Gordon before that game.

Maxie hoe the boat ashore, hallelujah!

I WANT MELVIN GORDON TAKEN BY THE PACKERS!

I remember when Melvin Gordon arrived as skinny freshmen, Monte Ball and James White said Gordon was going to be a much better player than either of them. That is an eye opening statement from college running backs who were pretty hot shit themselves.

Now that Gordon has proven he can take and give a beating inside, plus catch passes, he's a gem for any team to take anywhere, IMO.

[esoxx]

Take it to the Garbage Can, Tex.

We kinda have to let Tank do his Hoes and Pimps thread now, don't we?
